识别假智慧
True wisdom is from God; false wisdom is from the Devil.
真智慧源自于神;假智慧来自魔鬼。
Wisdom that is bitterly jealous and self-centered is not “from above.” Such traits constitute a wisdom that doesn’t come from God, the source of true wisdom (cf. 1:5, 17). Human wisdom, rather than being from above, is “earthly” (3:15). It is limited to the sphere of time and space and marked by the curse of man’s own fallenness, which is characterized by pride and self-centeredness. Everything the world initiates in the way of supposed truth is self-centered. Unregenerate man’s finite system demands an earthly wisdom and nothing more.
智慧若苦毒嫉妒,且以自我为中心,就不是“从上头来的。”此等特质构成了一种智慧,它并非来自真智慧的源头上帝。人类智慧,与其说是从上而来,不如说是“属地的”(3:15)。它受地球时空的限制,带着人类自身堕落受咒诅的印记,这堕落以骄傲和自我中心为特点。世界在假定真理的道路上,它开启的每样事物都是自我中心的。不悔改人类之有限体系需要的是属地的智慧,且仅需要此。
Man’s wisdom is also “natural” (v. 15), which means “fleshly” and refers to man’s humanness and frailty. First Corinthians 2:14 says, “A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God.” The natural man is sensual. All his feelings, impulses, and appetites are locked up in a fallen and corrupted system. All of man’s wisdom comes from his unsanctified heart and unredeemed spirit.
人类智慧也是“属情欲的”(15节),意思是“属肉体的”,指的是人类的人性与弱点。哥林多前书2:14说:“属血气的人不领会神圣灵的事。”属血气的人满足于感官需要。他所有的情感、冲动、嗜好都被锁定在一个腐败堕落的体系里。一切人类智慧都来自其自身不圣洁的心和未得救的灵。
Besides being earthly and natural, human wisdom is “demonic” (James 3:15). This is the only place in the New Testament where the Greek word translated “demon” appears in its adjectival form. Human wisdom is actually generated by demons, who have been made captive to the same evil system as man. Satan and his agents disguise themselves as ministers of light when in fact they are ministers of darkness (2 Cor. 11:14-15).
除了属地的、属情欲的之外,人类智慧还是“属魔鬼的”(雅各书3:15)。这是新约中唯一一处,译作“魔鬼”的希腊文以其形容词形式出现。人类智慧实际上由恶魔所生,与人一样,恶魔也一直是这邪恶体系的俘虏。撒但和其差役将自己伪装成光明的天使,实际上却是黑暗的使者(林后11:14-15)。
The wisdom of the world is spawned by demons, reflects man’s humanness, and proceeds no further than the fallenness of mankind. Since that is so, be sure to “be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might” (Eph. 6:10). Don’t let Satan and the world beguile you with their so-called wisdom.
世界的智慧是由恶魔孵化,反照出人的人性,直通向人类的堕落。因为事实如此,务必要“靠着主,倚赖他的大能大力作刚强的人”(弗6:10)。不要容撒但和世界用其所谓的智慧欺骗你。
Pray to be “filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord” (Col. 1:9-10).
向神祷告,愿“在一切属灵的智慧悟性上,满心知道神的旨意,好叫你们行事为人对得起主”(西1:9-10)。
According to 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 and Colossians 2:8, how is the believer to fight against Satan and his demonic wisdom?
根据哥林多后书10:3-5以及歌罗西书2:8,信徒如何要与撒但及其属恶魔的智慧争战?
